AWE Aldermaston, Berks
A planned strike by electricians employed by contractors at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) has been cancelled after a pay deal was agreed.
Members of Unite at the site in Berkshire were due to walk out on April 12.
The union said the deal is worth an increase of 9.4 per cent or around £6.50 an hour.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Our members at NG Bailey secured a substantial increase in their hourly wage because they were prepared to take collective action through their union.”
